Get Get Sponsored By Monster

Just missing the cock!


Well that's something. Although I have never been in Bremen, but I can say about me that I have ever seen the Bremen Town Musicians. The thing has a catch. An animal is missing and as you can see the headline, this is not the dog. A cat we had is already the whole time and now the new animal the donkey.
For several days already with us, he sneaks around the house. Eat our weeds away and bring the dogs "sometimes" to bark. We want to keep him and not really so we hope that he finds the way out Tabgha again. Hopefully, but not on the streets, for there he is, show us his wounds, was probably before. Ah yes, what would Tabgha only without animals, without people who simply stay and watch from times past and for a few days. Just like our Stadtmusikant . Let's see how long he stays ...

What Do Pierced Nipples Mean?

order and cleanliness (from Sunday)

Arab groups are great. Open, load an out to dinner, supply themselves without any problems and make good mood. I like that, but on the other hand, there is a different culture and in certain points comes as the German mentality is perpendicular to the Arab. Especially in terms of order and cleanliness, there are some differences. Come to some language problems, then it is quite difficult to deal with such groups. Then some sites regularly to see next to benches, fly like ashtrays or bags of chips on the site. A similar situation indeed look after 19 clock in the Old City of Jerusalem. Since then we have the feeling that the Carnival has made a trip to Israel.
In Jerusalem the next morning everything is clean again, where the garbage is coming I do not know. Must be a great mountain. Environmental awareness is another. Slowly you think but also to the government. Was the Ministry of Environment long an obscure office, according to media reports, a change began. Environmental protection was a luxury you could not afford. Today we see slowly without Dead Sea, no more tourists - no money.
Much has been due to high water consumption and uncontrolled waste disposal has been broken, but I hope that now, slowly learns. Learn that the environment is also important and can not do anything with it.

PS: now I see that a dark, unhealthy cloud of smoke rises from the Jordanian border.
greeting, your environmentalist Martin;)

January 12 Significance

In Bet She'an

What does one do on such a free weekend where you but the last time is always moved to Jerusalem and has no idea what to do you?
's right, you go to Bet She 'on! This small town (16,000 inhabitants) in the Jordan Valley has a shopping mall, two banks, a border crossing into Jordan, a youth hostel and a excavation site. The last two points made me well devious to this place, everything else is rather not worth seeing, although there are also some stories to tell. Bet She 'is pending but especially for his Excavation . Since the 5th century . BC. here it has been several settlements. The Romans were there, Byzantine and Arab radicals have been found. Self has the Crusaders here devious way. In the Talmud is when there is a paradise, then the receipt by Bet She 'on. The excavation site is really very nice, a lot is well maintained or restored and you get an idea of how things have looked good against a few thousand years ahead.
What one should not forget in any case, the sunglasses. How important it is, I've noticed in the whole light-colored stone. Hat I had in Tabgha leave, but since I could still buy one. Forget the sunglasses, however, was a little painful. Again and again I needed a break and shadows when I tour again after about three hours in the hostel came back, I had to swallow in a dark room and get me rest for the eyes.
Why do I tell you this? When you come to Israel, do not forget your sunglasses, so;)
afternoon I was then placed in the pool. There are probably some American youth groups to visit . You can see here the way, currently more often. American Jews who travel across the country. One of the groups is 5 days, some of the other Days longer, but take it all the way about? These Americans have good sponsors well and not so much time. The other day I heard once that winning the state of Israel by such programs, more people will. Whether large-scale works, I have not yet found out now ...

Ah, just read that FC will again undertake a Portuguese. Maniche - sounds and I'm looking forward to the new season.

Amount Of Daylight Gained Daily After Solstice

My last visit ...

is ... straight down. Judith and Stephan were for a few days in Israel and in the end in Tabgha . In the beginning I always thought that if they both come ... oh this will take so long. Now they were there! Just as quickly time passes.
We had some nice days. Were together in Masada and have stayed there in a nice hostel. Have migrated through a wadi, and have put into the Dead Sea. What made me happy but most was that I had with my brother simply made music together again. Quite simple, with only bass and guitar, but with a lot of fun. Thus, one learns abroad precisely what is missing one, and appreciate the other side but also new things.
A few quiet minutes a day of worship on Sunday Dalmanutha not regulated and the same daily routine, the time to actually have free time and still think of a thousand other things - in Tabgha I'm more focused on me than in Cologne. Not always makes everything easier and then you would sometimes get distracted by something more, but still I hope that I have learned this year how can I take in Cologne a little bit of that. When despite Uni stress, despite all the work, although 5,000 people still find time for themselves, I've found for me Tabgha. In this sense I wish
Allen a good start to the summer holidays or even nice summer vacation.

Grand Banks Trawlers For Sale

45 degrees

Yes exactly, so warm it was today. Even today I had a little wheeze. Had probably been drinking enough water this morning and then I was working all the harder. Although I am a bit used to the higher temperatures and humidity, the other had, I could then just make all that work for nothing more than to walk to the lake and go surfing with John.
So actually I have never done a surf course (thanks to Mr. Krutmann and Mr. Burbach - Greetings), even the appropriate driver's license in my wallet , but somehow it just did not work out so well here. No sooner had I set sail in his hand and stood on the board, came the next gust of wind or have I lost my balance and I was back in the water. In the end I've done it three yards to go. A result I can build on. Have resolved to take the next few weeks times more likely. Maybe then I'll get ten meters ...
knowledge of the day: What I learned in school once, I can probably no longer in Israel today (surfing);)

PS: So the picture is not from Israel ... if no surprise, as I relaxed there look.
